SECTION 5: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTON PHASES

The conceptual alternatives, options, and Baltimore Avenue enhancements described in the study were

developed to a sufficient level of detail to determine feasibility. That level of detail is also appropriate to

further public discussion and support informed decision making efforts by local officials. The next step is for

the Mount Holly Springs community and its leaders to prioritize the list of suggested improvements and

begin the implementation process. It will be important to create a series of small wins and build upon those

wins on successive implementation.

The Baltimore Avenue Corridor Study has laid the groundwork for a vision. It is time to commit to making

that vision a reality, develop a scope for intended improvements, secure the necessary funding, and move

on to the design and construction phases. The design process should continue to involve public input, though

more focused on specific areas, concerns, and improvements. Once the Borough commits to one or more of

the projects outlined in this plan, specific alternatives can be drawn from its text. New alternatives may also

be developed. The plan is intended to be a starting point and a “living document” to be used as a resource

for developing partnerships and community support.


SECTION 6: FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS

PennDOT’s Multi‐Modal Fund Grant Program

The most recent federal transportation funding authorization has placed a higher priority on improving

major highways, leaving many local roads and alternative modes of transportation (like biking or transit)

under‐funded. To remedy this, Pennsylvania used its Act 89 funds to create the Multi‐Modal Grant Program.

Under this program, money is specifically earmarked for improving transportation and access via alternative

modes such as:

Biking and pedestrian facilities

Ports

Rail

Aviation

Transit

Multi‐Modal funds may also be used for a wide variety of local roadway and intersection improvements,

including paving, traffic signalization, and realignments, etc.

As PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards, a lifelong resident of PA and committed to improving small

communities, has stated regarding the Multi‐Modal Fund “allows PennDOT to assist communities with

needed transportation improvements that otherwise may not move forward.” When the project design team

met with Mr. Michael Kiser, P.E. PennDOT District 8‐0 Executive, and his engineering staff to review the

project; Mr. Kiser reinforced this funding source as a very viable option for consideration when looking to

fund the roundabouts portions of the project.

PennDOT lists numerous project types that are eligible for Multi‐Modal grants. Typically grant applications

are “cleared” and ranked through the local MPO. Mount Holly Springs will need to work with the

Cumberland County Planning office to create an application and focus on matching funds for the project.

Grant amounts vary based on the size of the project, but, according to PennDOT, they would not normally

exceed $3 million for any one project.

The project typically requires a commitment of 30% matching funds from the applicant, and those providing

30% or more receive preferential consideration. It is common practice to develop a series of funding sources

that combine together to create the 30% match for the project.

Typical project types include:

Streetscapes

Lighting

Pedestrian safety enhancements

Signage

Sidewalks and crosswalks

Bus stops

Park and ride facilities

Bicycle lanes

Local roads and bridges

An analysis of prior grant recipients in the previous two application cycles, it is apparent that there is a

variety of projects that were selected for grant funding, including:


Intersection reconfiguration

Construction of additional lanes

Equipment purchases for a pavement marking program

New roadway construction

Biking and pedestrian trail construction and improvement

Noise mitigation along railroad tracks

Parking structure improvements

New school zone signage and pedestrian tunnel construction near a public high school

The emphasis on alternative transportation modes such as pedestrian walking and biking, Multi‐Modal

Funds have been a great fit for communities implementing improvements geared toward traffic calming and

enhanced pedestrian safety. Mount Holly Springs is one such community.

PennDOT lists the following as its selection criteria for awarding Multi‐Modal Grants:

The project area’s economic conditions.

Consistency with planning on a local, regional, and statewide level.

“Benefits to safety, mobility, economic competitiveness, and transportation system integration.”

(Being able to specifically cite the number and quality of jobs the project would create or preserve

gives a project greater consideration.)

The “technical and financial feasibility of the project.”

The regional benefits of a project.

“Project readiness.”

“Energy efficiency.”

“Operational sustainability over the long term.”

“Multi‐modal nature of the project.”

The Mount Holly Springs project will require a team to prepare an application to show that the project broad

reaching (regional or statewide benefits versus local), the more it will improve the economy, and the more

prepared a municipality is to complete it – technically and financially – the better chance a project has of

receiving funds. Focusing on solving the truck traffic issues as they relate to the Borough’s historic value,

stormwater pre‐treatment, gateway and quality of life components will make the application competitive.

PENNDOTS PUBLIC‐PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM

Act 88 of 2012

Signed by Governor Tom Corbett on July 5, 2012

Act 88 of 2012 authorizes public private transportation projects in the Commonwealth. This tool will allow

PennDOT and other transportation authorities and commissions in the Commonwealth to enter into

agreements with the private sector to participate in delivery, maintenance and financing of transportation

related projects.

PUBLIC‐PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (P3) PROJECT

A P3 project is a contractual agreement between a public entity and private entity that:

Transfers the responsibility of a facility’s engineering, construction, operation and/or maintenance

to the private sector for a defined period of time;


Allows the private sector to perform by contract a service previously provided by the public sector;

and

Ensures the private firm receives payments either from existing revenue sources or through the

collection of new tolls or user fees.

The two basic P3 project types are:

New Build Facilities – Adding capacity to the system by building something new.

Existing Facilities – Improving capacity or performance of the current system through a P3

arrangement.

Public Private Transportation Partnership Board:

Purpose: To approve potential Public‐Private Transportation Projects.

7 Members include:

The Secretary of Transportation (Chair)

The Secretary of Budget

Governor’s Appointee

Four Legislative Appointees (one from each caucus)

Must meet and report its actions to the General Assembly at least annually; and

Must adopt guidelines for receiving and reviewing solicited and unsolicited proposals

FUNDING SOURCES for MOUNT HOLLY SPRINGS

Moving Forward in Tight Times

The recommended projects, programs, and policies identified in this study represent a visionary and

ambitious plan for the future of the Baltimore Avenue Corridor in Mount Holly Springs.

At first, this may appear daunting or impractical during the tough economic climate that faces the borough

and most U.S. cities. However, such projects are in fact better implemented over time, in logical stages. As

lower‐cost projects and initiatives are taken, they will help build momentum and support for the larger, more

ambitious tasks. Key pedestrian improvements along with short, but critical, environmental stewardship

raingarden/bio‐retention improvements (MS4 focused projects) could also have a great impact for little

investment.

The overall implementation horizon for the project depends on the level of political support and available

funding. As Mount Holly Springs and other potential partners begin to implement the smaller projects and

build community support, the borough may build capacity and have more opportunities for the larger

projects, ideally with the outside assistance of grants and public‐private partnerships.

There are various considerations associated with the implementation of the Baltimore Avenue master plan.

These include actual upfront costs to get a projected completed and should include administrative and long‐

term maintenance costs of the overall project. While some projects may be included in Mount Holly

Springs’s, or the PennDOT’s capital improvement program (like the repaving of Baltimore Avenue), other

projects will require additional financial support from other sources. A key consideration when seeking

outside funding is the ability of the borough to provide a local match which is often made in the form of


cash, materials, and/or “in‐kind” labor or materials. Borough Council must determine the level of

commitment to implementing elements of the plan.

There are a wide variety of financial resources available for the borough. Federal, state, and local programs

should be considered and combined for maximum benefit and implementation of suggested projects and

actions. Potential funding opportunities for both transportation‐oriented projects, streetscape enhancements

and business development projects are identified below. One item of interest is that streetscape elements

funded with federal dollars are required to be non‐portable or immovable. That is, they may not be

removable and thus in jeopardy of being moved or removed in the future. Projects utilizing federal funds

must also consider potential impacts on historic and cultural resources. Due to the rich history contained

within Mount Holly Springs the borough should anticipate involvement with agencies such as the

Pennsylvania State Historic and Museum Commission if federal transportation dollars are utilized.

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS AND ENHANCEMENTS

The Baltimore Avenue master plan describes a set of actions that can calm traffic and enhance pedestrian

accommodation. A funding plan that utilizes the resources listed below should be established by working

with the Cumberland County Planning Department, Penn DOT, DCED, DEP and local or state elected

officials.

SAFETTEALU Federal Transportation Bill – Act 89 Municipal Transportation Grants, PENNDOT Multi‐

Model Grants, Green Light Go Grants, etc.

The Federal Transportation Bill “SAFE, ACCOUNTABLE, FLEXIBLE, EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION

EQUITY ACT: A Legacy for Users” (SAFETEALU) placed an emphasis on improved transportation

operations and traffic signal retiming. Several programs in the transportation bill are available as potential

funding sources. Mount Holly Springs, through application to the Regional Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO), which would be HATS for Mount Holly Springs, or State Transportation Agency

(PennDOT), can request use of the following funds from:

Surface Transportation Program (STP)

Surface Transportation Program Flexible Spending

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ)

These funds typically require a 20% local match. The STP provides flexible funding that may be used by

states and localities for projects on any Federal aid highway. The Act expands STP eligibilities to include

high accident congested locations, intersections, and supports environmental restoration and pollution

abatement.


Other State and Federal Grants

The following is a partial list of a variety of programs and contact information available for assistance in the project

implementation process. The work associated with finding public/private funding sources is a never ending effort and

Vo lun t e e r P r o j e c t s a nd Fund Ra i s i n g

Mount Holly Springs needs to develop a strong base of a number of dedicated and caring individuals who

are willing to make a difference for the current and future. Grass roots efforts are the key to all of the

implementation process. The individual caring about how Mount Holly Springs matures is what will make

a difference and will entice other individuals and corporations to participate in the renaissance. Mount Holly

Springs needs to establish volunteer efforts as a powerful base from which the leadership can expand events,

fund raisers and targeted projects for implementation. The most effective process would be to select those

projects that are easy first wins and rally the volunteers to get the project completed.

The Carlisle School District and the student service groups are at least one other potential source of volunteer

effort. All volunteer projects need to be short duration, highly focused and successful in order to bread a

track record of involvement and effectiveness. These efforts are also sources of grant matches and support

for other funds.

P r i v a t e I nd i v i du a l a nd / o r Co rp o r a t e Con t r i bu t i o n s

It is suggested that the Mount Holly Springs leadership reach out to the business community and look for

opportunities and partnerships related to an implementation strategy. The existing business

operators/owners, etc. are all potential entities that might be willing to participate in naming opportunities

for specific projects, streetscape items (banners, benches, lights, etc.) and a concerted effort at developing a

marketing/fund raising campaign should be developed.

P r i v a t e Dev e l op e r Impa c t s

There are a number of vacant and/or underutilized parcels of land on Baltimore Avenue in Mount Holly

Springs that will be developed/redeveloped in the near future (3 to 5 years). As development interest

improve those properties the Mount Holly Springs leadership should work to create partnerships with

developers to collectively seek ways to improve the character of proposed development and to implement

components of the streetscape master plan as part of the normal land development process. This might

include such things as pocket parks, street trees, benches, banners, street furnishings, light fixtures, textured

crosswalks, etc.

Every opportunity to create partnerships should be considered.
